North Sea platform gas leak caused by “catastrophic” pipeline failure
ByNiamh Forrest
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) said a gas leak on a North Sea platform on Boxing Day last year had exposed workers to an “unacceptable risk of serious personal injury from fire and explosion”.
It was also found in the notice that there had been a failure to remove insulation of pipework for inspection purpose “since its commissioning in 1983”.
The safety notice has been issued following the incident on the Brae Alpha platform.
